The cure for cults that want to deny others

their freedom of speech is more freedom of speech

-- Fredric Rice

Creationist cults.

This web site looks at older creationist cult propaganda which was
released by various creationist cults over the past 20 years. This is to
be nowhere near an exhaustive effort since creationist cults expend a
considerable amount of time and effort to try to explain-away science and
try to find some justification for their religious notions, and other
debunkings -- such as
http://www.talkorigins.org/
-- already debunk the ignorant claptrap that creationist cults come out
with, debunking the propaganda in loving, scientific detail.

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) is one such cult which by my
investigations does little -- if any -- scientific research, publishes no
scientific peer-reviewed materials in any serious science journal, and
appears to be staffed by self-proclaimed 'professors' and 'doctors' which
appear to lack any discernable scientific credentials in the many fields
within which they pontificate.

Freakishly, members of the ICR cult are reportedly required to sign a
bizarre statement of religious belief in the contemporary versions of
the classical Christanic mythologies, in direct denial to what their
own senses and reason tell them -- to hell with science. Their beliefs
would be perfectly acceptable if they kept them to themselves however this
cult threatens to try to get their occultism taught as scientific fact in
the public schools and in colleges around the United States. For that
audacity they must be opposed with reason and science.

Other Creationist cults -- such as "PROBE" and the
"Missouri Association for Creation, Inc." are just as freakish
and bizarre however they seem to be more willing to accept evidence for
some things which debunk a belief (such as the rather amusing notion that
there are "man tracks" at Paluxy) so long as it doesn't detract
from their overall occult beliefs.

"Propaganda refers to a pattern of selective presentation or
marshaling of evidence for a preestablished point of view; ignoring or
minimizing disconfirming data; and 'accentuating the positive and
eliminating the negative' in the discussion and argument from the data
gathered. Propagana or biased presentation may be 'good salesmanship'
and acceptable in commercial affairs and certain legal realms, but it
is considered inappropriate in science." -- Donald D. Jensen

"Creationism: The position that the account[s] of the creation of
the universe given at the beginning of the [Christian] Bible is literally
true." -- The American Heritage Dictionary

"Cult: A religion or religious sect generally considered to be
extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional
manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader. b. The
followers of such a religion or sect. 2. A system or community of
religious worship and ritual. 3. The formal means of expressing religious
reverence; religious ceremony and ritual. 4. A usually nonscientific
method or regimen claimed by its originator to have exclusive or
exceptional power in curing a particular disease. 5.a. Obsessive,
especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle,
or thing. b. The object of such devotion. 6. An exclusive group
of persons sharing an esoteric, usually artistic or intellectual
interest." -- The American Heritage Dictionary

Also, I'm routinely accused of making up or otherwise forging creationist
texts in an attempt to make "real" creationist cults look like
fools. I assure you that I do no such thing. Creationist cults come up
with enough freakishly bizarre -- and amusing -- propaganda on their own
without having to make up such profoundly stupid crap.

When I come across an old creationist piece of propaganda, I usually
attempt to contact the people who wrote it to see if they're still in the
business. In some cases telephone numbers and addresses have changed or
they've acquired web sites. In those cases I've added notes to the texts
indicating the new information but other than that I don't attempt to alter
creationist texts other than to reduce or otherwise dismiss text to either
conform to "Fair Use" dictates of copyright or simply because the
effort to debunk an already debunked notion wasn't worth the effort and
it's done elsewhere on the Internet (such as the
Internert Infidels.)

I noticed many things about creationist cults while going through these
old texts. One of the things that I noticed was that creationist cults
seem to feel the need to "explain" what parts of the classical
Christanic mythologies mean, as if people can't open up the mythologies
and read them for themselves. The "explanation" always gets
offered in some way to support the creationist occultism which is often
debunked simply by checking to see what the mythologies actually say.

Perhaps creationists feel that their followers aren't smart enough to
open up a Christian bible and read it for themselves without the cult
having to explain what it is they're reading. The audacity exhibited by
these cults is profoundly interesting, in my opinion, and often amusing
and deserves a good review if only to ascertain just how evil these cults
are in what they try to do.
